Endotoxin Automation

The need for accurate and dependable endotoxin testing technology is greater than ever, with the pharmaceutical industry increasingly focusing on the development of innovative biotherapeutics that carry a higher risk of endotoxin contamination. However, endotoxin testing traditionally involves a number of manual laboratory preparation steps which are inherently prone to human error. As a consequence, confidence in results is reduced, the retest rate is increased and the potential for out of specification results are increased impacting patient safety in the delivery time to accurate and dependable results.

To address these issues, Lonza has created a next-generation automated endotoxin testing platform that through process optimization and automation of routine manual tasks associated with endotoxin testing will be able to streamline and improve the performance of the QC laboratory. Automation is the next evolution in endotoxin detection testing allowing for an overall enhancement of lab efficiency and productivity. Automated endotoxin testing can reduce the potential for human error substantially, enhancing the accuracy, reliability and traceability of results.

Lonza’s creative new automation module that will be released in Version 6.0 of Lonza’s market leading WinKQCLTM endotoxin software, will now take any new and existing templates and dynamically ‘script’ the instructions to an automation template with almost no effort from the end-user, regardless of how complex your sample/diluent type or testing requirements. The system requires no programming or script writing skills to operate and offers unparalleled flexibility in the sample layout within the microplate.
